Question

A car driven by a vacationer and a tractor-trailer driven by truck driver collided with each other. The vacationer filed an action based on negligence against the truck driver in federal district court in the state in which he resided. The court had subject-matter jurisdiction over this action but not personal jurisdiction over the truck driver, who did not reside in the forum state but rather in the state in which the accident had occurred. The truck driver timely filed a motion to dismiss the action due to lack of personal jurisdiction and proper venue. May the court transfer the action to the federal district court for the district in which the truck driver resides if the court determines that such transfer is in the interest of justice

Answer 1
